They rumored to have a plan to close the Magic Kingdom to the general public due to a media event of WDW 50th anniversary in September 30, similar to Disneyland 50th anniversary Press Event in May 4, 2005.

Here is a novel concept of an idea…. How about they convert this space to….. I dont know…. A CINEMA?!?! Lol.Main Street Cinema to receive 50th anniversary overlay featuring the Vault Collection of merchandise

I know, i know… going back to showing cartoons in this space takes away from Uncle Bobs master plan of Merch, Merch, Merch.
I still remember the cinema as a little boy. I also remember the day I was waiting for MK to open past the hub and going in the Magic Shop on the other side of Main Street. I purchased a fake cast for my arm.

Wouldn't it be great if they brought back the old-time pictures? The ones where you are standing at the back of a steam train with period-correct cloths. I had one of those pictures taken in 1981. I can't remember where that was. It may have been down Main St a bit more.Main Street Cinema to receive 50th anniversary overlay featuring the Vault Collection of merchandise

Was just showing my parents that video to show them the insanity of the crowds. That one poor cast member... She literally had to talk to them like they were school children saying "walk don't run" LOL!

I was thinking the opposite. Let the bloggers and vloggers wake up at 3am and get there first. I'll still get there in the morning. But was thinking about 9am after the initial rush.

I can't wait for WDW to host an opening event one day and say "no cameras allowed" ha!
I can't stand vloggers.

If you see the rest of the video. The line increased exponentially and was probably slowed to a crawl.
Only the front area was consistently being served. I imagine the back ones were for cast members and executives.

Grr. I already ordered an HM themed band. Guess I'll have to pay more at WDW next week if I really want one. (I like the first version the best.)

Okay, so why is it not being used as a symbol and an icon for the park? They seem to like symbolizing abandonment for a theme park and ToT really looks like the odd man out on this..
Everytime I see it I think...
If I were to guess, TOT is unique to Disney. The Chinese Theatre is not. The real one is in Hollywood, CA.

backtrack to the page prior to this one. I posted a video and all the comments were related to the crowds shown in the video.

The more they put up/on the castle, the more it feels like a bunch of random stuff tacked on and thrown at it.Less can be more, but they appear to be under the mindset of “more is better”.
It's a shame that they've missed a 'golden' opportunity to make use of the actual theater behind those walls. It would have been neat to go into the theater and see a special film looping opening scenes from 1971 WDW. (Back in the day, it was an actual 'attraction' :
25 cent 'B Ticket' !! )

Gettin' closer...
I arrive on Property for the 50th festivities in a week.
I will have plenty of fun art postcards to give away to fellow fans attending the fun on October 1st at MK ( meet up location to be announced soon ).
For those planning on arriving early to MK on the 1st-
MK opens at 7:30am for Resort Guests.
That means the first buses should start rolling at 6:30am from the Resorts, am I recalling correctly?
Expect a huge mass of people waiting to enter the gates when you arrive.
Please behave like adults...this is going to be a special day for many and nobody wants to deal with 'stupid guest tricks'.
Also, come prepared -
I've said it before, but it bears repeating :
Bring your own snacks / light food with you as any counter service location /food cart will likely have mile long lines.
All table service locations are booked solid last I was aware, and mobile ordering might be tricky that day.
Just save yourself ( and your tummy ) from the stress and frustration.
You have been warned in advance!
I want to say that there may be a slim chance the gates might open earlier...depending on how the crowds decend in the morning.
This has happened at other times in the past, but don't plan your morning based on that info since I can in no means confirm that.
Just basing the thought on what I've observed and heard of happening at past events / openings.
Like many, I am hoping for some cool surprises to take place that day.
Sure hope some kind of acknowledgment is planned...i would like to think so.
No matter what happens, I can with full confidence say this will indeed be a memorable experience for those that will be there that day.
Both for Cast and Guest.
Wether that turns out to be epicly awesome, somewhat lackluster, or a chaotic cluster will depend on your own personal experiences and opinions.
Looking forward to it all....the good, the bad, the magical, and the ugly.

So I should move my plans for being at the debut of Harmonious back to the MK?
